VARATOUS (latin for truth)

If I cannot be the me that is me,

The flying equalacorn born to be free.

Then why did you tell me that you love the real me.



If I cannot be the whisper in the wind,

The silent thunderstorm, the circle within.

Then why control and make me fit in.



If I cannot love with the passion from my soul within,

The part of me that writes my emotions with the stroke of a pen.

Then why did I open my heart at all?



If I cannot have my spirit, my freedom back,

The times when my life feels like it’s under attack.

Then why did you allow me the opportunity to love you?



If I cannot be the person I am.

The mother, the writer, the sister, the friend.

Then leave me alone, let me be…

The lover, the writer, the friend, the me.
